[humanser] Sorrowful announcement

[JD Townsend]

Hello All:

I first met Denise at a Florida state convention.  I was the chair of the Resolutions Committee and Denise was working on a resolution supporting blind people to adopt children.  She had a clear idea of right and wrong, ethics.  Once she and Adam moved to California she began to work toward state licensure.  She has been a vocal and active member of our board.  I’ll miss her.

Subject: Sorrowful announcement

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Denise Shaible, Board Member of the Human Services Division of the National Federation of the Blind passed away on April 23, 2015.  I send this message to the Florida list serv because Denise was a resident of Florida and a member of the affiliate.

 

I spoke with Denise while she was in the hospital and at that time she was considering a medical procedure.  After speaking with her husband, Adam, who I have copied on this correspondence, it appears Denise had complications after the procedure although at first it appeared to go well.

 

Denise was a dedicated board member to the Human Services Division and I will miss her enthusiastic spirit, dedication, and support.  Adam is doing what Denise would want him to do and will be joining us at our National convention in Orlando.  I am sure he is in need of his Federation family and the support during this most grievous time. 

 

Wishing you the peace, comfort, and love of God during this most difficult time, Adam!

 

With deepest sympathy and warmest regards,

Merry C. Schoch

Human Services division

President
